This is a contemporary romantic thriller from a master storyteller. During the course of a routine legal investigation into a Hong Kong company, high-flying lawyer Julia Wilson inadvertently taps into a sinister network of intrigue and corruption that seems to have implications for her husband Paul's electronics company, Industech. As Julia starts to make inquiries, she comes up against a mysterious wall of silence. Then her housekeeper Ruth disappears, and Julia is further unsettled by what appears to be evidence of an intruder in her Wiltshire home. A replacement housekeeper hired by Paul does little to restore Julia's peace of mind: Helen is a strange person, and has a habit of snooping into private matters. As she probes deeper, it becomes clear that Julia is caught up - unwittingly - in something not just illegal, but very dangerous...
